u3: where to store data?

Hi all (and specially Chipp),

here is what I found with help from the mothership (thanks Marcus)

on mouseUp
   put $U3_APP_DATA_PATH into tPath
   replace "\" with "/" in tPath
   put "/test.txt" after tPath
   put "this is a test" into URL ("file:"&tPath)
   answer the result & cr & URL ("file:"&tPath) & cr & there is a  
file tPath & cr & tPath
end mouseUp

This way the data ends up in the /app/data folder on the u3 drive.
Somehow it failed when I used "file://" no idea why.

Another script that I find handy is this (which I wrote in my  
frustration about the meager specs)

on mouseUp
   repeat for each item theItem in the globals
     if "U3" is in theItem then
       put theItem && value (theItem) & cr after allU3Vars
     end if
   end repeat
   put allU3Vars
end mouseUp

Interesting what one can find out about the drive. ;-)

Hope this is of any help,

Malte
